Mireia Sallarès

Visual artist. Trained in Fine Art at the Universitat de Barcelona and in film at the New School University of New York, she uses video as a means of artistic and anthropological research and as a narrative tool able to create stories about the complexity of the real and against the dominant discourses of subjectivity. 

She has presented her work at the CCCB, MACBA and the Miró foundation in Barcelona, the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, the Carrillo Gil museum in Mexico, Anthology Film Archives in New York, Facets in Chicago, OK Centrum in Linz, Austria; Galleri Image in Arhus, Denmark; the Center for Contemporary Art in Glasgow, the Puerto Rico museum of modern art, the Moscow museum of modern art and TEA in Tenerife, among others.  

Her most outstanding, prize-winning work includes: Las muertes chiquitas, a long study of the female orgasm and pleasure conducted in Mexico; Como una gota de agua en la palma de la mano, research exploring the different problems with amorous thought conducted in the former Yugoslavia; and La historia potencial de Francesc Tosquelles, Cataluña y el miedo, a speculative fiction about the Catalan psychiatrist who politicised relations with madness.
